We've gathered all of our favorite light shows and combined them to create a fun road trip for you to explore!

Get WaKeeney Facebook

First up on our travels is the Christmas City of the High Plains itself: Wakeeney, Kansas. This town loves the holidays and even has painted murals up all year round.

Here's a link to our full piece on this attraction.

Manhattan Festival of Lights at Blue Earth Plaza Facebook

Next up is Manhattan's Blue Earth Plaza, which lights up with a great display every night during the holidays. The centerpiece is a 50-foot tree made of lights, blinking and sparkling for all to see.

Wamego Area Chamber of Commerce Facebook

After that, we've got Wamego, where a Season of Lights awaits us. Unique holiday decorations like this windmill make it a special place to visit each year.

TARC's Winter Wonderland Facebook

After that, we have a drive-through light show sponsored by TARC, a beautiful display of lights that doesn't require you to leave the warmth of your vehicle. In addition, the cost of entry goes towards running the lights and local charities.

Council Grove/Morris County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Facebook

Council Grove's town is a great place for casual strolls through lighted paths, and visit shops you may have never seen before. It's such a beautiful town, and the holidays only make it better.

The Arc of Sedgwick County Arc's Lights Facebook

We all know there's plenty to see and do in Wichita, but one of the best holiday events in town is the Arc's drive-through light show at Douglas and St. Paul. It's just so stunning!

Here's a link to our full piece on this attraction.

Botanica, The Wichita Gardens Facebook

For those of you that prefer to walk around lights instead, you'll find that there are plenty of lights and themed areas at Wichita's Botanica Gardens to keep you entertained for a long while.

Winfield Isle of Lights Facebook

Last but not least on our list is the Isle of Lights in Winfield. It's not a true island, but there is a drive-through path around a sort of island in the center. You're surrounded by lights on both sides (and sometimes above) during your visit.

Here's a link to our full piece on this attraction.
